That have two versions, one for a cd and one for digital. I would get the disk version. Get it from a legit store so there is a warranty, not overpay at a reseller.

And, yes you probably should get a new tv.

Is Walmart legit? I see some there but it says 'fulfilled by Walmart'

You would be buying it from a 3rd party seller on Walmart. I don't know how they handle it if there are issues with the console. I would research that. Also, just be aware you are buying it for 2x the normal price.

And I don't know if these articles will help. They give advice for how to get notified about restocks. But if you have the money, paying extra to get one from a a 3rd party re-seller is probably the surest way to get one. I just don't know what the scam risks are.

Don’t worry about it. You’re not getting one this Christmas unless you want to pay a scalper $1100 for something that costs $500. We’ve been trying since last Christmas - I never figured that by holiday 2021 you couldn’t get them legitimately.
